sn00pie Share Posted August 15, 2006 The overal interface is still very similar to 10.4 Tiger. I assume that means that Apple hasn't updated it's interface for the developer build because it's trying to keep the new look a "hidden secret" from Microsoft right? :D Link to post Share on other sites
fascist Share Posted August 15, 2006 Im guessing we wont see a drastic interface change until OS XI :p. Link to post Share on other sites
.Neo Share Posted August 15, 2006 I assume that means that Apple hasn't updated it's interface for the developer build because it's trying to keep the new look a "hidden secret" from Microsoft right? :D I dunno. Could be, but then again what we see might be all we get (more or less). Im guessing we wont see a drastic interface change until OS XI :p. The change from Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar to 10.3 Panther was pretty drastic too. Link to post Share on other sites
KeR Share Posted August 15, 2006 I don't think there will be a huge Interface Change...but I am sure there will be more of the "unified/plastic" look in Leopard, and less of the brushed metal. Link to post Share on other sites
.Neo Share Posted August 15, 2006 I don't think there will be a huge Interface Change...but I am sure there will be more of the "unified/plastic" look in Leopard, and less of the brushed metal. I'm starting to think that as well. But I hope we're wrong. :pinch: Link to post Share on other sites
giga Veteran Share Posted August 15, 2006 Personally, I'm not too fond of the brushed metal. =/ Link to post Share on other sites
suspiria Share Posted August 15, 2006 I always thought Brushed Metal looked very nice, but just old fashioned. The new iTunes metal looks more modern. However, I could go either way. Link to post Share on other sites

Vice Share Posted August 15, 2006 Install UNO and you get the plastic-iTunes look on all your windows, completely replaces Brushed Metal and can be undone just by running the installer again. Link to post Share on other sites
.Neo Share Posted August 16, 2006 There you go! Something iTunes-like would be nice. I just took this shot of DVD Player 5.0. I thought you might like it. ;) It really puzzles me why Apple goes through all this trouble of coding "Unified Brushed" into individual applications instead of just applying it on a system level like they did with Aqua, Brushed and the Unified title/toolbar look.

.Neo Share Posted August 16, 2006 Another thing I came across, huge application icon sizes: Link to post Share on other sites
crazzyyfool Share Posted August 16, 2006 Ooooohhhh. Look at the icon gorgeousness. I think we are gonna see something simply amazing with the Leopard UI. :yes: Link to post Share on other sites
The_Decryptor Veteran Share Posted August 16, 2006 Leopard seems to actually contain a resolution independent UI. As you can see most of the control buttons are vectored but the titlebar background isn't yet. ... Nice :yes: And the huge icons are cool (are you adding the drops shadows, or does OS X finally capture the shadows with Command+4+Space ?) Link to post Share on other sites
crazzyyfool Share Posted August 16, 2006 Nice :yes: And the huge icons are cool (are you adding the drops shadows, or does OS X finally capture the shadows with Command+4+Space ?) I'm hoping OSX captures the shadows. If you look at the Expose/Spaces screenshot. When you invoke Expose the drop shadows are still on the expose'd windows. In Tiger they disappear. Maybe Core Animation allows for a more powerful, better looking UI. :p Link to post Share on other sites
.Neo Share Posted August 16, 2006 And the huge icons are cool (are you adding the drops shadows, or does OS X finally capture the shadows with Command+4+Space ?) Nope. Mac OS X Leopard actually does those automatically now when capturing a window. Nice huh? I noticed that Windows Vista's screenshot making tool still sees the entire Desktop and it's windows as one flat image. Pretty amazing that the Mac OS X interface is actually layered and can be captured as such. Link to post Share on other sites
giga Veteran Share Posted August 16, 2006 Holy wow, those are some gorgeous icons. I can't wait to see the Pages logo in that resolution! :D :woot: Link to post Share on other sites
crazzyyfool Share Posted August 16, 2006 These large versions of the icons must have something to do with the resolution independent GUI. Also. Can someone confirm whether the new Safari works with the Rich Text Editor on the Neowin forums or does Neowin default to the standard editor. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
.Neo Share Posted August 16, 2006 At this point there are only very few applications that go up to that size (the only ones I found are posted above). The weird thing is that when opening those .icns files in 10.4 Tiger they only go up to 128x128 pixels. :/ thefunkymunky, so far Neowin seems to work fine with Safari 3.
